"Pencemaran air akibat limbah pewarna tekstil merupakan masalah yang cukup krusial dan berdampak kepada keberlanjutan hidup manusia. Proses fotokatalisis merupakan salah satu metode untuk menguraikan polutan di dalam air dengan memanfaatkan interaksi sinar UV atau tampak. Proses ini dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan nanostruktur TiO2, yang dapat disintesis dari mineral ilmenite lokal dengan memanfaatkan reaksi pelindian dan pendidihan. Namun, tingkat pemanfaatan dan distribusi dari Ilmenite masih cukup rendah, sehingga diperlukan sumber sekunder (secondary resources) untuk mengekstraksi TiO2, yaitu dari residu selama sintesis berlangsung. Tingkat pemanfaatan residu ilmenite sebagai prekursor TiO2 masih tergolong rendah, apalagi dengan penggunaan asam berupa H2SO4. Pada penelitian ini, akan diteliti pengaruh dari temperatur dan waktu kalsinasi terhadap nanostruktur TiO2 yang dihasilkan dari prekursor residu, dari segi komposisi, kristalinitas, morfologi, dan energi celah pita dari nanostruktur TiO2. Ditemukan bahwa temperatur dan waktu kalsinasi mampu untuk meningkatkan persentase Ti, meningkatkan kristalinitas fasa, menciptakan fasa sodium titanat, serta membentuk struktur nanowire. Energi celah pita yang dihasilkan setiap sampel juga berkaitan dengan morfologi nanowire yang dimiliki dan kehadiran doping Fe sebesar 0,7-1,1%. Hasil pengujian fotokatalisis yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa performa fotokatalisis yang dimiliki oleh nanostruktur cenderung hanya optimal saat kondisi gelap (mencapai 70% degradasi), sedangkan pada penyinaran UV performa fotokatalisis yang dihasilkan tidak optimal (hanya sedikit peningkatan). Hal ini dapat dipengaruhi oleh faktor konsentrasi fotokatalis yang digunakan.

Water pollution due to textile dye wastewater is a crucial issue with significant implications for human life sustainability. Photocatalysis is one of the methods employed to break down pollutants in water by utilizing the interaction of UV or visible light. This process can be carried out using nanostructured TiO2, which can be synthesized from local ilmenite minerals through leaching and boiling reactions. However, the utilization and distribution of ilmenite are still relatively low, necessitating secondary sources to extract TiO2 from residues during synthesis. The utilization of ilmenite residue as a TiO2 precursor is still relatively low, especially when using sulfuric acid (H2SO4). This research investigates the influence of calcination temperature and time on the nanostructure of TiO2 derived from residue precursors, examining composition, crystallinity, morphology, and band gap energy. It was found that calcination temperature and time could increase the Ti percentage, enhance the crystallinity phase, create sodium titanate phases, and form nanowire structures. The band gap energy of each sample was related to the nanowire morphology and the presence of 0.7-1.1% Fe doping. Photocatalysis test results indicated that the photocatalytic performance of nanostructures tended to be optimal in dark conditions (reaching 70% degradation), while under UV illumination, the photocatalytic performance was suboptimal (with only slight improvement). This could be influenced by the concentration of the photocatalyst used."

"This book presents the work done by the RILEM Technical Committee 227-HPB (Physical properties and behaviour of High-Performance Concrete at high temperature). It contains the latest research results on the modelling of concrete behaviour at high temperature. Some monographs on the subject have been published already but generally they do not cover the whole range of possibilities which are encountered in the literature as well as in practice. Moreover, there has been a rapidly increasing development of computational models during the last twenty years, which deserves attention. Therefore, it is the aim of this report to compile and present most of the tools that are proposed in the literature and are nowadays available for practice in some commercial computational packages.The book is divided in 3 main chapters dealing with:- engineering modelling- advanced modelling- constitutive parameters including hydral, thermal and mechanical parameters."

The increasing population has led to a surge in the demand for clean water, resulting in a scarcity of this vital resource. The primary factor contributing to this scarcity is water pollution caused by the textile industry, which releases organic dye waste without proper treatment. An effective method to mitigate organic pollutants without producing toxic by-products is needed, one of which is photocatalysis. This research aims to optimize the photocatalytic performance of TiO2 by studying the effect of Ag concentration on the morphology, particle diameter, crystallite diameter, and band gap energy, as well as its impact on the photocatalytic performance of samples synthesized using a green synthesis method with TTIP precursors and mangosteen pericarp extract (Garcinia mangostana L.) as the reducing agent. Characterization was carried out using FTIR, SEM-EDS, XRD, UV-Vis DRS, and UV-Vis methods. The addition of Ag in amounts of 15, 30, 45, and 60 mmol resulted in an increase in particle diameter from 242 to 313 nm; growth of rutile, brookite, and silver oxide phases on anatase TiO2; an increase in crystallite diameter from 11.77 to 13.59 nm; and a decrease in band gap energy from 2.55 to 1.66 eV. The optimum methylene blue degradation capability (95.61%) was obtained with the application of TiO2 samples with the addition of 45 mmol Ag, which showed a particle diameter of 271 nm; the presence of the Ag2O phase almost covering the surface of Ag-TiO2; a crystallite diameter of 12.71 nm; and a critical band gap energy of 1.70 eV."
